 The example below

 {{{#!hs
 module Foo where

 data SomeException

 newtype ContT r m a = ContT {runContT :: (a -> m r) -> m r}

 runContT' :: ContT r m a -> (a -> m r) -> m r
 runContT' = runContT

 catch_ :: IO a -> (SomeException -> IO a) -> IO a
 catch_ = undefined

 -- has type error
 foo :: IO ()
 foo = (undefined :: ContT () IO a) `runContT` (undefined :: a -> IO ())
 `catch_` (undefined :: SomeException -> IO ())

 -- typechecks
 foo' :: IO ()
 foo' = (undefined :: ContT () IO a) `runContT'` (undefined :: a -> IO ())
 `catch_` (undefined :: SomeException -> IO ())
 }}}

 works with GHC 7.10 but breaks with GHC HEAD currently with:

 {{{
 foo.hs:15:47: error:
     • Couldn't match expected type ‘a0 -> IO ()’
                   with actual type ‘IO ()’
     • In the second argument of ‘runContT’, namely
         ‘(undefined :: a -> IO ())
          `catch_` (undefined :: SomeException -> IO ())’
       In the expression:
         runContT
           (undefined :: ContT () IO a)
           (undefined :: a -> IO ())
           `catch_` (undefined :: SomeException -> IO ())
       In an equation for ‘foo’:
           foo
             = runContT
                 (undefined :: ContT () IO a)
                 (undefined :: a -> IO ())
                 `catch_` (undefined :: SomeException -> IO ())
